"Cut it out." The two tall men exchanged a glance. Ronan quickly said, "Lyra, don't be afraid. Maybe it's not her at all?"Torin, with deep eyes, looked at Lyra and said, "I've seen your grandmother; I can recognize her. Don't go in, wait for me here."Lyra desperately shook her head; she knew they were trying to comfort her."I must see it with my own eyes to feel at ease," she said.With the support of the two men, Lyra walked into the police station, staggering with each step.Her breath became increasingly rapid, her heart pounding as if it was about to jump out of her chest.Torin walked over and spoke to an African-American police officer.The officer led them to identify the body.Finally, they reached an empty room, the temperature dropping several degrees, sending shivers down their spines.Lyra, not knowing where she got the strength, suddenly pushed away the two men beside her and rushed forward.On a table, a body wrapped in a body bag. The African-American police officer
The two men exchanged a glance, each feeling a sense of victory in their minds.Over the next two weeks, Ronan made phone calls every day, seeking help from all directions."Is this Peter? Hey, long time no see! It's like this, my wife's grandmother...""Jackson, how are your connections in Minnesota? I need to ask you for a favor...""I'm Ronan, yes, there's something I'd like your help with..."Ronan had changed. Those phone calls were something he had never done before, and he ended up owing many favors.But now he didn't care at all.His attitude in speaking was also something Lyra had never seen before.He, who had always been a dominant figure in T City, now spoke with an obvious awkwardness and stiffness, appearing very unfamiliar.He had always held himself high and never lowered his posture to ask for help from others.But now, for Lyra, he shamelessly went around asking people for help.Even with some people he barely knew, he called and exchanged pleasantries.If those peop
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Mr. Ronan!" Ronan and Lyra simultaneously stopped in their tracks and looked toward the source of the voice. A stylishly dressed woman hurriedly ran out from a jewelry store."So coincidental! Mr. Ronan, you're here too?" The woman stopped in front of Ronan.Ronan looked at the woman somewhat absentmindedly, taking several seconds to recall that she was a young model he had played with before.What was her name again?Ronan couldn't remember.He subconsciously nodded, "Uh, just wandering around."Torin lightly curled his lips and asked, "Mr. Ronan, is this your friend?"Ronan furrowed his brows, wondering what this damn fox was scheming. He hadn't engaged in such activities outside for eight hundred years!Unfortunately, due to too many past indiscretions, the dead fox had caught some evidence.As expected, Torin lightly chuckled, insinuating, "Mr. Ronan has good social skills; you can encounter your friends even in the United States, huh!"Ronan directly i
After more than ten hours of long-distance flight, Ronan took advantage of Torin going to the restroom and immediately jumped over to occupy Torin's seat, sitting confidently next to Lyra.Lyra, half-asleep, opened her eyes and glanced at him."Be good, keep sleeping," Ronan petted her head affectionately, making her lean against his shoulder.Without fully realizing it was Ronan, Lyra closed her eyes again, continuing to sleep peacefully.When Torin returned, he saw Ronan taking his seat and stood in front of him with narrowed eyes."Mr. Ronan, it seems like your seat isn't here."Ronan smirked, indifferent, "If I get up now, Lyra will wake up."Torin, seeing Lyra sleeping soundly, hesitated. She had been through a lot in the past month.He couldn't bear to disturb her, so reluctantly took a seat nearby.Ronan felt so triumphant inside!Damn fox, try to compete with me!Little did he know, his moment of tr
He waited for her for a full two years, and now that she finally woke up, how did she manage to fall asleep again?"What's going on?" Ronan asked with a serious face.The doctor explained with some difficulty, "Miss Cordelia woke up, but due to your request, we couldn't let her leave. She couldn't stay idle and helped around the hospital, but ended up collapsing from exhaustion.""Helped?" Ronan roared angrily, "I've donated so much money to this hospital, and this is how you treat the people I care about!"The doctor was frightened, repeatedly waving his hands, "Mr. Ronan, you've misunderstood, it's not our fault!"Suddenly, the person in the bed made a sound, slowly opening her eyes.Ronan excitedly bent over, standing by the bedside, "Are you awake? Are you okay? Do you remember me?"Cordelia Locke, upon opening her eyes, saw a face as handsome as jade.Those eyes, like obsidian, seemed to possess a magical charm, drawing pe
"No, I don't want to go in," she said.Torin held her fingers, and Lyra's fingertips were a bit cold.Torin squeezed her hand firmly and gently said, "I'll accompany you inside."Lyra looked at him, Torin's eyes always so gentle.It gave the illusion that every word he spoke had the power to soothe one's heart.Lyra involuntarily nodded, Torin holding her hand, pushed open the rusty gate with the other.Weeds were rampant underfoot, and with every step Lyra took, she thought.The cherry tree in front of the door would bloom with beautiful cherry blossoms every spring.After the flowers fell, small cherries would grow, red and sour, very delicious.Her grandmother had made her a small swing, and she used to swing high there when she was a child.Her grandmother always sat on the wicker chair, watching her with kindness.However, everything had disappeared.In front of her, there was only a messy yard
Ronan felt a pang of heartache at that smile. If it weren't for the trouble on Lyra's side, he really couldn't bear to leave."Cordelia, give me some time; I will take care of you," he said.Cordelia Locke's eyes sparkled with sweetness as she said, "I'll be waiting for you."Her restrained and strong face made Ronan even more distressed. He gently kissed her face."I'm leaving!""I'll be thinking of you and waiting for you!" Cordelia Locke cheered herself up in her heart.Cordelia Locke, come on! You can do it!She fell in love with this handsome man at first sight.He was so gentle to her, giving her such a big house to live in, and saying he would take care of her.She was the happiest woman in the world!Cordelia Locke immersed herself in sweetness, not thinking at all about Ronan's identity and why he treated her well.Today, Lyra went shopping, and suddenly a person rushed out, holding a can of red pa
Saying that she saved him just to keep him!Ronan, the big CEO, had such a magical thought process.For the past two years, he had firmly believed that Cordelia Locke was his lifesaver.When he was rescued, the first person he saw lying unconscious beside him was Cordelia Locke.Moreover, Cordelia Locke was such a kind girl.Rescuing someone was something Cordelia Locke would do.With this in mind, various emotions surged in Ronan's heart."Lyra, the person in the warehouse was me," he said."Was it you?" Lyra widened her eyes. "The person I saved back then was you?"Ronan fell silent and smiled bitterly, "Lyra, don't lie. The one who saved me back then was Cordelia Locke, not you."Lyra instinctively said, "I'm not lying. This burn mark is the evidence!"Ronan shook his head, cradling her face with great tenderness."Lyra, I'll forgive you this time, but don't lie again. Cordelia has sacrificed too much for me, and I don't want to hurt her."Lyra's lips trembled noticeably, and she s
